Bloon Tower Defense 5:



This is an internet based game by Ninja Kiwi. As from the title it is most likely a tower defense style as several of you have guessed already. Also you may have guessed that it is the fifth installment in the series. It is also the hardest to play in the later levels.

Now the biggest issue with this game is the lag. It is not as bad on the IOS version (yes it is available on the app store). The game gets so hectic that you get down to .01 frames per second once you reach round 500. Which you never will because none of you have heard of the game. And if you have and you reading this: shame.

Now besides the lag issue this is actually a pretty fun game. You do what you always do in a tower defense game, protect the invisible town just beyond the end of the track which you never will get to see ever because the game camera never changes from top down.

There are a lot of new features in this version of the game. There are new towers and new bloon types and other things that are quite irritating that you have to play the game to understand why. One of the new types of bloons is the regenerating type of bloons. These are bloons that are shaped like heart that regenerate to the type of bloon they spawned at. That is unless you blow the living crap out of them because they are SO ANNOYING when you don't have the right towers.

There is also a new kind of blimp, I don't know what the name of it is off of the top of my head but here is the gist: It is green, has a skull on it, is incredibly hard to destroy, splits into red blimps which split in to blue blimps. Now these don't spawn until the later levels when you have practiced for several days straight.

Now some of you may be worried about glitches, so let me talk about them:
None.

Actually that is half true. There is only 1 glitch and that is on the IOS version. But even so it is not major. What happens is the bloons fail to spawn. This can be fixed by saving and exiting to the main menu and then resuming you game.

So all in all this is a pretty fin game and will for sure prevent you from going out side and doing something actually productive. So all in all you should play this game. But be warned: If you want all of the un-lockables, you have to play a lot because you need XP to unlock all of the tower upgrades.

Rating: 2.5/5
